CARRYING ON

I don't know why I was so tired yesterday but am better today. Going to take it easy & just stitch today.

I only got 35 stitches done yesterday but I didn't entirely slack off. I put a round and a half into this. The never ending granny square. Hey it's still stitching just don't have to concentrate so hard.

Anyhoo here is my starting point today. Hopefully I will get more done.

Hubby is taking a nap and I have already mixed up the meatloaf for supper (it is relaxing in the frig) so now I am going to stitch.

Hope everyone has a wonderful stitchy day.

Till tomorrow

TIRED

Don't know how much stitching I will get in tonight. Just now picking it up. Husband has a stress test today & I was a nervous wreck. His heart is strong and healthy thank goodness.

While he was having the test I did a couple of errands and then went back & picked him up. We stopped at Noodle Express for lunch as he was not allowed to eat before the test & I had no appetite.

When we got home I was exhausted and took a short nap in my chair which made Elvira happy. I woke up with her in my lap.

Now I have ordered pizza for supper and am getting ready to stitch.

I only did 37 stitches yesterday but hey they are 37 I don't have to do today.

Here is today's starting point which isn't much different from yesterday.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful stitchy day.

Till tomorrow

AND THEN THERE IS KNITTING.

As if I don't have enough to do between my cross stitch and crochet I have also started knitting again.
I blame it on the ladies at my stitch group. Most of them are also knitters and bring their gorgeous projects to group to work on. Also stitch group meets at the local LNS/LYS and we are surrounded by gorgeous yarns.

Here is my progress so far. Just doing a basic scarf to get my rhythm back. It has been at least 30 years since I quit knitting. As you can see I made a mistake so am waiting patiently till Tuesday when I can go in and have Ginny help me fix it.

I was all over the place yesterday. I cross stitched at group and then knitted(till mistake) and crocheted on the never ending granny square when I came home. Today I have been crocheting but will be picking up my stitching when I get done here.

Hubby is watching Walking Dead (which I don't watch) so I have my headphones on and am listening to music.

Here is my starting point today. More of the Mario mushroom. Yesterday's total was 86 stitches.

Hope everyone has a wonderful stitchy day.

Till tomorrow.

MUSHROOM?

I got a lot of stitching done yesterday. 440 stitches to be exact.

I think I have a mushroom person from Super Mario Bros hiding in my stitching. LOL.

I have stitch group today and I am also taking my knitting so we shall see how much progress I make today.

Here is today's starting point.

Hope everyone has a wonderful stitchy day.

Till tomorrow.

LOVING THIS

I am really enjoying the colors in this piece. I am excited to stitch on it every day.

Stitch group was good yesterday. We met the new owners of the LNS/LYS and they are very nice and are not planning on any major changes in the groups etc.  Big relief for all of us.

I did get 171 stitches done yesterday. Not a bad total.

Here is today's starting point.

Hope everyone has a wonderful stitchy day.

Till tomorrow

MORE RED

Sometimes thinking of a title for the post is harder than writing the post. I'm apparently not very creative today.

I did manage some stitching yesterday after getting home from lunch out and some shopping errands.

We had lunch at Wheat Montana. Great food and service. Then we hit North 40 for bird food, pickles and jelly. Then it was off to Michaels to pick up some storage containers for my stitching, Home Depot for some things Jim needed then home to collapse. I was exhausted but after resting for a bit I did stitch.

238 stitches. So here is today's starting point. More red. Loving it.

I have stitch group from 2-6pm today so don't know how much progress will be made.


Hope everyone has a wonderful stitchy day.

Till tomorrow

WIIINNNNDY

They may call Chicago the windy city but they have nothing on Great Falls. Steady 30-40 mile an hour winds today with gusts up to 60 miles an hour. Nothing to stop the wind when it comes in from the plains. Sunny and cold also.

We have errands to do today so don't know how much stitching I will get done. Hoping for some at least.

Since it is now March here is a picture of my February TUSAL. The lid is to keep helpful paws out of the orts.

Yesterday I did 271 stitches. Love stitching the reds.

Here is today's starting point if I get a chance to stitch.

Hope everyone has a wonderful stitchy day.

Till tomorrow.
